April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

Keeping God's Children Protected and Safe
To know we are children of God is to live in complete love, with deep abiding security and the ability to dream, to sing, to create, to laugh and to play without worry. As we grow older, we face a new reality - we cannot approach all God's creation with the same trust and confidence. We learn, through sometimes hurtful and damaging experiences, that some people reject the ability that God gave them to love and respect others - they ignore God's call. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops call to safeguard children helps remind us of these very facts. With the help of the USCCB, the faithful are guided and educated about their responsibility to keep God's children protected and safe. Click the title above to learn more.
Pray for victims of abuse.
